    Comments about Recycled Plastic Weedblock:

    This product is not pictured accurately - the actual product is a very light green, the color of Mountain Dew bottles spun into a film. Weeds very happily germinate and grow beneath it if used on its own. To be truly effective, it needs a thick layer of additional mulch on top of it, which utterly defeats the point.The sustainability of a product is very important to me, and I will gladly pay more for recycled/sustainable materials; however, buying this was like throwing [$] (for two rolls) right out the window. The product needs to transmit less light to discourage weed growth beneath it.

      Comments about Recycled Plastic Weedblock:

      The guy who cuts my lawn applied this fabric and then a couple inches of bark mulch under a dogwood tree where I had a major problem with perennial weeds (mugwort). 5 weeks later and none of the mugwort has come through (and nothing else has either)!

      Comments about Recycled Plastic Weedblock:

      The ad is misleading about the color of this product so I was not able to order it for the correct use. The recycled-plastic-weedblock is pictured as dark green though it is actually light green. Please fix this.

        Comments about Recycled Plastic Weedblock:

        Rebuilding an overgrown garden. Wanted a product that would let rain and nutrients into soil but which would effectively keep out weeds. Liked that it is made of recycled materials. Very thin, so we'll see in a year or two if it keeps the weeds down (covered with about 3 inches of wood chips so expect success).

            Just got this for this season & I just put it down the other day. It was easy to use and I cut it with a utility knife. Then I put the cedar mulch all over it. We have had alot of rain in the past few days & everything is holding up fine. The mulch is still on it and it is not slipperly at all-thought it might be. I do love it so far but will have to see if the weeds come up.

              Great use of recycled plastic. Easy to manage around flowers and shurbs for weed control when covered with mulch.

                This product really works. I recently turned a corner of my yard into a raspberry patch. I put this product over the grass and put mulch on top -- nothing has come up through it. I wish I had the foresight to put this product under my other garden before planting my blueberries.

                  This seems to be doing a good job stopping weed growth between the rows of my garden. It is porous to the water goes throughto the soil nicely. My only complaint is that it is much lighter in color than the picture shows on the website, so I dont think it does a good job of heating the soil.
